Question:
Being diesels ignite on thier own compression, how can you add or retard the timing?

to put it real simple.....timing on a diesel is when the fuel is inejcted in relation to where the piston is....so you advance or retard it by injecting the fuel at a different point in the pistons travel......similar in theory to adjusting timing on a gasser by adjusting the spark for the same thing....

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Im a gas man as you can see in my sig. I have the diesel bug now and learning everyday
